Introduction

I enjoy wood working (65+ years) and take great pride in my work. I build wood furniture, repair wood furniture and refinish wood furniture. I do not return a piece to the customer until I am satisfied with the project. I do not do any upholstery work. I do not repair mechanical recliners. I do not re-cane wood chairs. I will pick up and return your furniture, but do not work in your home/office. I am a US Army veteran and offer all vet’s a 10% discount.

Bob did an excellent job of refinishing the top of my cherry Bob Timberlake dresser! I had spilled a diffuser containing essential oil removing the finish on an area the size of a baseball 😩 Now you would never know it happened 🤗

Bob did a great job repairing a broken leg on an antique wingback chair I inherited from my mother. He not only repaired the leg, but he retouched the finish so that you cannot even tell that the leg was broken. He did the work in a timely manner and was very professional, responsive, and reasonable in price. He picked up the chair, returned it to me, and even placed it in the room for me. I couldn’t have been more pleased with the job he did, and I highly recommend Bob for antique furniture repair.

Bob refinished and repaired a couple of railroad benches from Galveston for me. Both pieces look better than I have ever seen them. Bob is a true professional and I will not hesitate to reach out and contact him in the future if I have any new projects.

Bob is an excellent craftsman. I really enjoyed working with him to paint my mother's furniture; to bring it to new life for my 9 year old daughter. The quality was excellent and Bob was so enjoyable and trustworthy to work with.

Bob was fantastic to work with and I plan to hire him for any future projects we may have! His work is very high quality, he offers recommendations if you need inputs, and his communication was very helpful from furniture pick up through delivery.
